The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun has said that the subsidy on fuel, if not removed by President Bola Tinubu, would have cost the country N5.4 trillion by the end of 2024.

Abiodun said that it would have been devastating for Nigeria to pay such a huge amount in comparison to the Federal Government’s budget of N6.7 trillion for the same fiscal year.

The governor who spoke during a Special Church Service to mark the 64th National Day celebration at the Cathedral Church of St. Peter, Ake, Abeokuta, said the money is now available for the development of infrastructure across the country.

He said:” Mr. President removed the subsidy, which, if not curbed, would have cost us N5.4 trillion by the end of 2024.

“We have been busy subsidizing our neighbours; these are funds that can be invested in improving our infrastructure and other social services.

“Our budget this year for infrastructure was N6.7 trillion, meanwhile, the subsidy would have consumed N5.4 trillion, if not curbed or checked.”

Earlier in his message titled ‘Leading Our Nation Forward in a Time Like This: Lessons from Elisha’s Leadership’, the Diocesan Bishop of Ijebu North Anglican Diocese, Rt. Rev’d Dr. Akinwande Odubena, who also read from the book of 2 Kings, Chapter 7, Verse 1, noted that leadership plays a crucial role in the future of any country.

The cleric maintained that the country is currently dealing with hyper-inflation, problems of oil theft, increase in unemployment that has given birth to internet fraud, insecurity, infrastructural challenges, kidnapping and banditry. He urged citizens to be hopeful for a better Ogun State and Nigeria as a whole.

The bishop, while noting that it was important for the people and the leaders of Nigeria to trust in the plan of God, said that unity and prosperity must be prioritized.

People in power saying sh*t everytime

So??

Can the money be put to good use? Your guess is as gud as mine.

Where is the saved money?

Nonsense.

Do these guys understand how expensive food and transportation has become. You are informing malnourished and poor people that you saved. What the hect?

Untop alter you still dey lie?

Tinubu removed which subsidy?

So where is the money, you guys shared it abi.

They're only interested in the amount of money that comes into the coffers of the government, so they can generate enough cash to fly their girlfriends around the world.

So who calculates the amount of people that have died because they cant pay for their hospital bills, or buy medicines or feed very well, as prices of commodities soar?

Where is the ₦‎5.4 trillion saved from subsidy removal? 

Where is it warehoused?


If truly ₦5.4 trillion is saved from subsidy removal, why is the Tinubu government engaging in mindless borrowings? Borrowing much more than what the Buhari government borrowed in it's entire eight-year tenure while still paying subsidy and maintaining the price of petrol below ₦‎200 per liter

Ehen?

Nawa dem just dey call big money.

Dapo again 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s sad that even the worst governor on Earth still has a say in a country like Nigeria.

Someone who should be seeking forgiveness from the people of Ogun state, is talking about Federal subsidy.

Ogun state people really missed it. Out of all non living things, Dapo they voted for.


Siri or Alexa would have performed better than Dapo.

And where was that money, redirected to?

Is not you guys fault, is because of those paid online bandit who will come online to defend and evil.

Yeye dey smell.

Which Money was saved? The same FG with increased pump price was paying more in subsidy than the other years, and the gave it a new name shortfall.

So who was paying for the shortfall in landing costs useless swines as leaders

They're all thieves. No wonder they rigged PO out of the system because PO is the only sane man that can dismantle corruption and corrupt thieves in government. We missed a good and sound president in PO

Idiot. Until these animals are lynched, they will not have sense.

Subsidy removal saved N100 gazillion trillion for Nigeria, so how does that make the common man's life better? So you free up more money for you and your fellow thieves and ex convicts to steal, at the detriment of the standard/cost of living of the already overburdened masses, and yet you expect them to jubilate about such nonsense?

ok
